We Feted The Wrong People
With the return of that delegation of American farmers
from their Russian tour, perhaps we may receive a more
realistic view of the accomplishment of the "exchange".
Throughout the weeks that Acting Soviet Agriculture
Minister Vladimir M. Matskevitch and his eleven compatriots were vititing American farms, the fiction presisted
that these men are "farmers", instead of politicians and
slave-drivers.
Mr. Matskevitch has reported to the American people
— and to his own country in a special Voice of America
broadcast! He told us we are more efficient in the use of
labor, and indicated something would be done about it. He
refused to admit that the incentives of freedom might increase production. He urged trade expansion, especially to
include blooded cattle and tractor attachments.
In an interview with the New York Times, Mr. Matskevitch took a dim view of the future of our family-sized
farms as compared with the Russian collectives, and said he
lopked forward to applying thc production line techniques
"of the Ford factory to Soviet faints. He was just as strong
for the Soviet farm system now, he said, as when he first
arrived.
All in all, it seems doubtful that the visit of Matskevitch
and company will bring any comfort to the great mass of
enslaved Russian farmers. Rather, it appears, we have
merely provided the Soviet Simon Legrees with new whips
— with which to drive their charges on the new production
goals.
America's 'Creative Minority"
-^ TTTe great British histo'rian,rA"rriord>Toynbee7 lias coirild
the phrase, "creative minority", to describe the group which
advances the level of civilization in each era. This group
may be the philosophers, artists, writers, or political leaders
,of any particular epoch. In our time, it seems likely that
the creative stimulus most enduring in its effects has been
applied by the scientific genius of this country.
America is by no means the only resource of this brilliance, but we are primarily concerned with our ability to
continue its uninterrupted development in o>ur country. The
recent disclosure of a shrinkage in the numbers of engi-1
neering school graduates represent a serious shortcoming in j
our efforts to maintain our scientific leadership. One half |
of our most gifted high school graduates have found it
economically impossible to complete their college training.
These figures make it all the more gratifying to find
several of our great private Foundations launching the most
important college scholarship program in the historj^of
American education. A national search for top-ranking high
school graduates will be a feature of the plan. Some 350
scholarships covering four years of training will be awarded
in the first year. By the time the entire schedule is opei'a-
tive, we may be able to say that no boy or girl in -our country
who can benefit from a college education is to be denied it.
Strange World Department
Japan's proposal for a six year rearmament program
combined with United States air support focusses attention
upon the changing world in which we live. For si generation preceding Wiorld War II, schoolboys were brought up
on a steady belief that, sooner or later, Uncle Sam and the
aggressive Ehipire of the Rising Sun would one day engage
in a war. The war came, and most of us have been thoroughly unprepared for its aftermath.
Today, the nations against whom we fought, Germany,
Japan, Italy, have reversed their roles completely. We have
•s'pent hundreds of millions of dollars in their reconstruction.
Visitors to these countries are often at a loss to explain the
situation. They come home asking who did better after the
war, the victors or the vanquished.
Perhaps there is a growing awareness of the futility of
modern warfare as a consequence of these kaleidoscopic
reverses. Allies and the enemies are subject to change
without notice. If this be true, what advantage accrues
to anyone who commences a war? Or to those who "win"
when the fruit of their victory becomes the responsibility of
rebuilding and reestablishing the strength of the loser?
